Day 33 (Sunday, October 31, 2021)
Costs for the Day are in the Table below:
Woke up at 7am and went for my morning run and calisthenics workout. Unfortunately, it wasn’t early enough for Daisy who went to the bathroom on the carpet just as we were getting ready to leave. She is 8 months old and not quite fully potty trained yet I guess. Anyway, here is our workout:
Ran 1.2 Miles (0.6Miles there and back), 3 sets of 10 pullups to chest level, 3 sets of dips from the pullup bar going as low as possible, 100 pushups (25/25/25/25), 3 sets of 8 leg raises, 1 minute straight arm planks – Left/Right/Regular, 45 inverted rows (20/15/10), 3 sets of Side Holds from the bars.
When we got back to the house I realized that, in the confusion during the potty issue, I must have forgotten my keys. So we ended getting locked out in the rain for an hour when we got back. : (
When we got back in the house, I had a coffee and practiced some Portuguese for a while as well as checking the surf cams. It looked decent at Porto Mos so, after lunch, I took the #2 Onda bus to Porto Mos (Cost: 1.20 EUR one way) with my surfboard and a backback with my wetsuit. Porto Mos does not show up on Magic Seaweed or Surf-Forecast but is a fairly popular surf spot even though it is inconsistent. The conditions were sloppy and with waves around 3-4 feet. I had fun though and caught several decent waves so I was happy.
When I got out, my bag and gear were all there which is nice. I placed them near the private chairs and cabanas that the restaurant has because they watch the lounge chairs like a hawk. If anyone uses them they come up right away to let you know there is a fee. So, I figured they would unintentionally watch my bags if I put them by the chairs. It seemed to work but I also kept a watch over them from the surf.
Anyway, I dried off and rinsed off my wetsuit, wrapping it in a rain jacket and placing it in my bag so it wouldn’t leak too much. The bus comes every hour but I seemed to have got out just at the wrong time so I decided to just carry my surfboard and backpack and hike the 2.4 kilometers back to the apartment.
Once back at the place, I hopped in the shower, and then Bi made me a nice bowl of hot spaghetti.
